My Sustainability Goals for 2025:

One way Hong Kong can elevate its port competitiveness is by promoting alternative fuel bunkering availability, in line with its “green and smart port” strategy. In parallel, wider adoption of innovative green financing solutions such as use-of-proceeds financing for green fuel, supply chain infrastructure, or decarbonizing retrofitting equipment would further expand the supply of green funding to the address the rising demand under IMO 2050.
